Excellent Case - Computer Case

I wanted to replace the case that came with it for two reasons.1. I had to disassemble the case to change the SD card.2. It's almost impossible to see an LED, can't tell if it's on. This case solved both of my needs and looks great too. Some people complain about the SD card not being in the middle, but I think that's sophistry. You can replace the SD card without disassembling the case! I highly recommend this case if you have a Pi Zero, even if your kit came with a case. Buy that and throwโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Useful for more than its intended purpose
Cons
  • Security

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Beautiful and functional

This is a really beautiful case with a very precise and functional design that hugs and showcases the Pi while keeping the overall package as small as possible. An example of good design is the ribs that prevent the Pi's SD card from sticking out while still allowing for tool-less card extraction. The CPU heatsink and cutout feel nice too (I use this case with a Pi Zero W, but it also comes with a different top that allows it to be used with a regular Pi Zero, which is a little different CPUโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Expensive insurance

Cheap, good fit, a little awkward to install

The only reason I took off a star is because it's awkward to build. I suppose it's part of the Raspberry Pi intrigue to play around and build, so if that's your jam go for it, you'll have fun. I didn't realize it would have so many parts so it took me about 15 minutes to put it together. Most of the time is spent peeling the protective paper off the parts. Either don't cut your nails or use some good sharp tweezers and things will go faster. In the end, it looks beautiful and durable.โ€ฆ

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • A price that beats the piggy bank

Really great case, almost perfect.

Very easy assembly, tight fitting parts show meticulous effort has gone into the design and manufacture of this case. The only minor complaint is that on my particular Pi Zero W, the SD card slot doesn't match the purpose of the case. Makes the extraction a bit more difficult, but it's still not done often so it's a very minor annoyance. The second disadvantage is that the case does not allow access to the breakout headers. Overall 4 out of 5 stars.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • I won't say anything

High quality and made in the USA

I bought this for my Raspberry Pi Zero W. The Revain product description doesn't mention that you get two top case covers; one is for a wireless Pi Zero and the other is for a non-wireless Pi Zero. There is no marking or picture of the difference between the two caps, but it will be apparent when you attempt to install the top cap. The position of the CPU chip on the board is slightly different between the two Pi Zero versions. You are installing a top cover that has the correct cutout position

Pros
  • Happy so far
Cons
  • Some little things

Excellent case for Pi Zero/W

Excellent case. Two covers are included, one for the Pi Zero and one for the Pi Zero W. The difference is in the cutout for the CPU heatsink, so it's obvious which one fits your case. The body fits well. The screws fit snugly into the base plate, making assembly a little easier. As already mentioned, the micro SD slot does not fit into the indentation at the end of the case. It doesn't bother me at all because I can still pull out the micro SD with my fingernail and the SD card is wellโ€ฆ

Pros
  • understandable also for the old
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Simple and works. The cables connect securely to the Pi's connectors.

This is my second Zebra Zero case - the first was the 'GPIO' variant used with the Pi Zero WH, this one used with the Pi Zero W, eliminating the need for a header hole. The case consists of a set of plastic panels; Soak in warm water to easily remove the protective paper. After that, simply stack the pieces together with your Raspberry Pi and use the included screws to hold everything together. 10 minutes max, less if you're not all fingers and toes like me. I got this to replace my 'official'โ€ฆ

Excellent device protection

This case fully protects the Raspberry Pi Zero W. The top and bottom are made of durable clear Plexiglas. There are two gaskets that protect the inside and 4 washers that ensure everything fits together like a glove. Two top plates are included to accommodate different Pi Zero models. The instructions say to attach the heatsink before assembly. I did this after the build to make sure I didn't align anything. If you need to mount a final assembly, double-sided foam tape will do.

Pros
  • Quick change
Cons
  • Vulgarity
